There have been dozens of good books written in the past decade telling the true stories countering the incessant lies of alarmists blaming impending environmental disasters on carbon dioxide emissions. None have been better than the newest contribution by Patrick Moore and certainly none as up to date as this just published contribution to real science. We all know by now that Patrick co-founded Greenpeace.
Natural flood plains form where floods spread silt and mud in river valleys. Being flat, fertile, picturesque and usually supplied with surface and underground water, they attract farms, orchards and gardens. These are inevitably followed by roads, houses and businesses.
US President Joe Biden clinched the top role last November on the back of a campaign promise to launch the Clean Energy Revolution in the country, with a chief aim of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Rystad Energy estimates that the significant utility solar PV installed capacity required to meet the target would occupy around 13,412 square miles of land, equivalent to 0.43% of the total land area in the lower 48 states, or roughly 50 times the size of Austin, Texas.

Only three of England’s seven Nightingale hospitals have ever been used to treat Covid patients – despite costing the taxpayer more than £500m to set-up and keep on standby, HuffPost UK can reveal. An investigation by this website has shown just how underused the landmark hospitals have been – with the government under fire for overseeing a programme described as a “massive white elephant” from the start.
For the past year, an assumption — sometimes explicit, often tacit — has informed almost all our thinking about the pandemic. At some point, it will be over, and then we’ll go “back to normal.” This premise is almost certainly wrong.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has lambasted billionaire globalist George Soros as “one of the most corrupt people in the world”. His comments came after Soros called on the European Union to make Hungary and Poland submit to ‘open society’ values.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has cancelled plans for a strict lockdown over Easter, just a day after the measures were announced.Calling the plan a “mistake“, Mrs Merkel said she took “ultimate responsibility” for the U-turn.
Think tank WorldSkills UK has claimed Britain is facing a digital skills shortage as fewer young people opt to study IT-related subjects at GCSE and A Level. The report [PDF] highlighted a steady decline in the number of Computing and IT students at GCSE level since 2015, falling 40 per cent from a peak of 147,000 to just 88,000 last year.
If early statistics are any indication, we are facing the greatest public health calamity in modern history. No, I’m not talking about a third, fourth or fifth wave of COVID-19. I’m talking about the current vaccination campaign. I have no doubt that deaths caused by COVID-19 vaccines will end up far exceeding the number of actual COVID-19 deaths.
Wastewater (i.e., sewage) testing for SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) can be helpful to public health agencies and government officials as a novel complement to existing COVID-19 surveillance systems. Since SARS-CoV-2 can be shed in the feces of people with symptomatic or asymptomatic infection, wastewater surveillance can capture data on both types of infection.
What was the state of humanity before civilization arose? To this day the popular conception, both among the public and as promulgated by many historians and archaeologists, is that of small, primarily nomadic, bands of people perpetually on the brink of existence, endlessly in pursuit of their next meal.
A portion of the 1.7 gigapixel image of the Milky Way put together to create a panorama is seen in the image above. Finnish astrophotographer, JP Metsavainio, took on the daunting task of creating a mosaic of the Milky Way back in 2009. It took him twelve years to get the whole picture which is around 100,000 pixels wide and has 234 individual mosaic panels stitched together.
The core stage of NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket fired all four of its RS-25 engines for a little more than eight minutes—about the same duration needed to launch the Artemis I mission to the Moon. The successful hot fire tested the engines’ ability to direct thrust as well as handle throttling up to 109% power.
The Earth and all planets stratify to greater density from the surface down, with minerals altering form to a more compact structure at greater depths. As described by J.M. Herndon, the core of the Earth is formed by the neutron-heavy Transuranics as an active Soliton Breeder Reactor.
With foresight, this article by Peter Koenig was first written on March 12, 2020, the day following the March 11, lockdown. It was among the most popular GR articles in 2020. It reveals the hidden agenda behind the Covid-19 vaccination initiative, which is now being applied.
